The orders, for setting up four thermal sets of 250 MW each, have been placed on BHEL by Bharatiya Rail Bijlee Company Limited (BRBCL), a joint venture between NTPC and Indian Railways, a BHEL spokesman told UNI today.

Slated for synchronisation during the 11th Plan, these sets will add 24 million units every day to the grid on commissioning.

BHEL's scope of work include design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of steam and turbine generators with state-of-the-art controls and instrumentation system.

With this contract, BHEL has won all the thermal power plant orders finalised by NTPC and its joint ventures.
